Document background
The Letter For Non Renewal Of Work Contract is a crucial document in Malaysian employment practice, used when an employer decides not to extend or renew a fixed-term employment contract. This document must be prepared in compliance with Malaysian employment legislation, particularly the Employment Act 1955 and the Industrial Relations Act 1967. It is typically issued before the contract's expiration date, respecting any notice period requirements specified in the original employment contract or statutory minimums. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides clear communication of the non-renewal decision, ensures legal compliance, helps prevent potential disputes, and maintains professional relationships. The document should be used when a fixed-term contract is approaching its end date and the organization has decided not to offer renewal, whether due to project completion, organizational changes, performance issues, or other business reasons.
